Former Saint and Roo Nick Dal Santo believes Sydney cannot win the premiership if they don't alter their style of play.
Dal Santo is convinced that, rather ironically, the qualities that make the Swans so admirable and respectable on-field are the same things that make them vulnerable during matches - as displayed in their disappointing 12-point loss to Geelong last night.
โI think, in my opinion after watching the game last night, they canโt win the premiership continually playing this way,โ he toldย SEN Breakfast.
โI donโt know if they can change. Theyโve been doing this under Paul Roos going back 10-15 years now. This has been the same style."
Dal Santo explains that teams should know exactly what they are going to get when they play the Swans.
He says we should know they don't bottom out, so you will get a combative two hours of football, and the opposition are going to walk off sorer than any other side.
"You know where Josh Kennedy is going to be, you know what role Buddy (Lance Franklin) is going to play, you know Jake Lloyd is going to be getting handballs and a lot of uncontested possession off half back."
John Longmire's men will be keen to hit back against North Melbourne next Sunday at Etihad Stadium.
